criw compostio

croeso//welcome. we love making and talking about gorgeous peat-free not-for-profit compost, made with love and by hand from local food and green waste

helô

we are criw compostio and we're nestled in the UNESCO Dyfi Biosphere

we make rich, dark, worm-filled compost, made entirely from local waste

we treasure the billions of microbes that we call colleagues

we dance and write love letters to bogs, heaps and alchemy

you can expect polyglot rot chat, biophilia and much joyful mixing of community, care and compost

 

on paper we are a small local waste management company collecting from cafes within our square mile

reducing food waste miles and pollution

and distributing pay-as-you-feel compost locally to anyone who wants to grow food.

safely, ethically, and with dignity


and

our mission cascades across borders and languages

from rural to urban settings

connecting novice and enthusiastic composters.

we love the poetry of waste transformation

the awe of the microscope

and the scent of well cured and cared for decomposition.
